I went to the reunion   Of the class of ?84   And I saw my old sweetheart   Who said she just divorced      We talked about the good days   And the life we once planed   And then they played a slow one   And she asked me to dance      Ten years ago I would not have left her alone   But I just told her about my family back home      When I was a child I played the games that children play   Now that I?ve become a man I put those things away   Time to take care of what?s at hand   Oooh, time to be a man      There?s one that calls me darlin?   And three that call me Dad   I know they?ll stand beside me   In good times and through bad      And knowin? that they need me   Gives me the strength I need   To stand up through the walk of life   And be all I can be      When I was a child I played the games that children play   But now that I?ve become a man I put those things away   Time to take care of what?s at hand   Oooh, time to be a man      When I was a child I played the games that children play   But now that I?ve become a man I put those things away   Time to take care of what?s at hand   Oooh, time to be a man   Oooh, time to be a man   Oooh, time to be a man      All right, come on   Yeah
